hello & one word to say EXCELLENT this plugin is really great but i had an issue when using the plugin with another plugin ( to be exact this one Content - FAQ Slider Plugin) i put the gallery in an article & the plugin sorts the articles in a manner to get them in slides but the problem is that the galleries loads the images of the last one in all the articles when viewed in the slides but work great when viewing the article individually
After testing a lot of other image galleries with rather annoying and slow popup screens, I was very happy to finally find this plugin. The only thing missing for me (and the reason that I give 4 instead of 5 stars) is the image2image navigation within a set, but I read on yr site that you're thinking about integrating it. Let's hope so!
I had difficulty with Simple Image Gallery, the thumbnails wouldn't show ... but this extension is sweet! It installed like a dream and worked right out of the box. There are tons of parameters to split the photos into sets, add captions, vary display size, whatever - and the main plug in has the link to the needed documentation. It resizes the photos automatically to generate correct main photo and thumbnail. One would think it's a downgrade from Simple Image Gallery ... but to me it's an upgrade. This one works, and works great. It was just what I needed.
good starting point for a really cool gallery. the automatic resize-feature and paging is great. the layout is poor - but usage is simple, as the name says. so no need to complain here :)
The plugin was easy to install and implement. The supporting documentation on how to implement was complete and easy to follow; the user selection options are very easy to understand and follow without a lot of technical jargon for a web site maintainer to manage their photo content in Joomla articles. This allows a wider variety of web "content" managers to add photographic content.
I used this module in my website on an online photos catalog, it was very easy and so powerfull, Thank you very much for this Very Simple Great Module.

I needed a new image gallery viewer for my website as I migrated to Joomla! 1.5. At the time of install I thought this extension could be improved a lot and the thumbnails did not look great when you mixed portrait with landscape images. BUT, version 1.6 addressed this and added a maximum height parameter! Now, no matter what dimensions my images are the thumbnails are identical size (used crop thumbnail option) and users will not have to scroll down if a portrait image is selected. Well done! Easy to understand parameters and good examples on site. I work for a non-profit summer camp and do many other things besides the website. VSIG helps me provide a professional looking website with little time investment. Great extension!
After many hours of internet search for the perfect image gallery... Found it! Very Simple Image Gallery! Worked as advertised. Installed in minutes, I loaded images and added the link into an article and Voila! the site is up with a clean, elegantly designed gallery. And many thanks for your clear documentation! Great job for a great product!
An excellent & "very simple" image Gallery to set up. Thanks to Andreas for his quick and responsive support :)
